I toured 14 amazing gardens in two days (half in a tropical storm). It was incredibly inspirational and while I didn't set out to make proper videos in these gardens, I did want to share a few glimpses with you.
Tours start at 3:40

Never thought I’d put Pennsylvania on my must see list for travel, but as a gardener now it’s on bucket list! Fantastic

Oh Erin, these gardens just make my heart smile! And I am ashamed to admit that I am just 1 1/2 hours away!! Chanticleer here I come. And ever since "reading" his book, The Layered Garden, I constantly try to emulate Mr. Culp's style. This was a gift. Thanks

This video was a feast for the eyes! Like you said, each garden was unique and interesting...reflecting each gardeners' personalities and creativity. There is so much inspiration there. Gardens with the gorgeous surroundings of nature just bring me peace. Thank you Erin, for sharing these tours. ♥🌻🌲🌼

This was such a wonderful compilation of the gardens at the Fling. You hit the nail on the head - nothing is more inspirational than visiting gardens where you can immediately see the love that has gone into it, regardless of the size, style...or weather! One thing I can't believe is that I actually missed that pool area at Chanticleer...how on earth did that happen? And that underwater shot was awesome! PS Also loved our little side-adventure in the shops at Peddler's Village - it was a true pleasure spending that bit of time with you.

OMG ! These gardens were amazing...just amazing. I can't even imagine what it was like to be there in person to see and experience all of the beauty, hard work, planning, etc that went into developing the gardens. I think, for me, the hosta hill mass planting was the most memorable. That surprised me too, as I'm not usually a big hosta person. Your thoughts on any plant can be amazing when planted in mass really came true for me when I saw that hill with all of the hostas. I am assuming that most of these families have gardeners employed to keep everything looking good all of the time. I was also surprised how the container gardens looked so lush and full. The whole video was inspiring, that is for sure. I just got out of the hospital from a serious bout of pneumonia and watching this really lifted my spirits. Thank so much for sharing this trip.

Thanks so much Erin! Although I live in Oregon now, Chanticleer is 2 hours from my hometown in PA. It is on my list. I so appreciate your narration of all these gardens. I went to my neighborhood garden tour this past June. I totally get what you mean about the personality of each garden. The feeling of all the love and care that went into each garden especially the older ones...20, 30, 40 years with the same gardener . Very special. Full of Soul. I sometimes catch a glimpse of that in my garden of 24 years. I am trying to pay attention more and get quiet for more glimpses. This video reminds me to do just that. Thanks.

Oh Erin, thank you so much for sharing these gardens with us. Based on your recommendation, my husband and I went to Chanticleer in the spring along with Longwood Gardens. I have to go back to Chanticleer to see the kitchen and cut flower gardens. You must have been buzzing with ideas when you got home from touring these gardens. That's exactly why I love watching your videos and others because they inspire me. Again, thank you so much!

I’m so happy I fell upon this video, I grew up in Kennett Square on a farm that directly bordered Longwood Gardens. I’m 70 now and I was a kid back then believe it or not Longwood was absolutely free. You just walked in and walked around school trips went there almost every year from the local schools and other places and from our farm that was just to the north of Longwood on Valley Road. We could hear the chimes from the chime Tower at 5 o’clockevery night

Surprising reliance on lots of annuals and tropicals

@Bandaid17 9 ай бұрын

Although so vast and opulent as Longwood is, I will never tire of visiting Chanticleer for the ever changing gardens. I was told (I don’t know if its true) that the 5 designers are given free rein to create their visions every year. They certainly do not disappoint.

@jilladcock5648 9 ай бұрын

Absolutely love this! You should come to Buffalo in July. Open Gardens throughout the month. Each weekend municipalities have garden tours. Final weekend in July is the city itself. Amazing-mostly smaller gardens- you can see all month long. Garden clubs from throughout the Country come here. Buffalo in the summer is spectacular. Chanticleer and Longwood are amazing. I need to get back to Philly and see some of the other 30+ public gardens in the area. Thanks for bringing us along ❤️

To this day the best private garden I have seen is nearby on a 50'x150' lot. It is so well planned and executed that you would not even know you were in a city and you feel like you are in a different world.

There is so much to see in public gardens within an hour or two from center city Philadelphia. And so much history, including women in horticulture. The average person can have Erin’s experience (hopefully minus the tropical storm) for not a lot of money.

As a west coast landscape architect for 50 years, II would call most of the 'gardens' shown here 'plant displays' designed and implemented by master horticulturalists. There is special emphasis on flower displays. Gardens, on the other hand are outdoor spaces - whether created by flowering plants or other materials - that create an artful or designed space. Classic gardens have an overall structure that creates a visual and physical setting. Flowers are incidental The gardens designed by Rich Haag at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island near Seattle and a good example, as are many of the classic Italian gardens

As a Philly girl born and raised, I recall visits to Longwood Gardens very fondly and drew much inspiration from that masterpiece, even now living in Las Vegas. Philadelphia is a city filled to the brim with culture and elegance, creativity and yes, even serenity. This video is such a treat! Thank you for sharing.
